Minnesota trapped us

Well, as Jon indicated, Tyger and JC met us in Minneapolis on Sunday. This of course required that Jon's secret army of ninja spies be executed. This, combined with the copious amounts of wine consumed Sunday night, got us off to a late start on Monday. We stayed at a park close to the Wisonsin border, and biked to a town just across the state line, Prescott, and ate breakfast at a picnic table by the Mississippi River the following morning. And then, we were lured back to the other side of the river and spent the day in a place we'll call Frerret. I spent the entire amazing day sitting in the river with water to my neck, the current running toward me, reflecting on this trip and how amazing it has been and how amazing it was that I was sitting in the Mississippi River between Minnesota and Wisconsin and how beautiful and awesome life is and how beatiful and amzing people are, and how beautiful it is every time our lungs breathe this life and our hearts pump blood through our veins and how soul-squishing capitalism is. Everyone else spent the day juggling and playing music. It was a glorious day. So we slept there, then went back across the river to Prescott in the morning, and found ourselves eating breakfast at the same picnic table. Then we had a brilliant plan to build a raft but Prescott failed us with it's lack of materials. So we went back to Minnesota and hung out in the park for a few hours. I crossed the river so many times, Minnesota Wisconsin Minnesota Wisconsin Minnesota Winconsin. Anyway, we finally got on our way, and our now in Pepin, WI. We stopped here for lunch and swam in the lake and now there is a severe thunderstorm warning, so we are still here! But we are well on our way to Madison, and excited to spend some time there.
The ride today was absolutely beautiful. We finally hit some hills again, after lots of flat. Up and down is fun.
It's super fun with the new additions to the group. They bring lots of positive energy and excitement and humor and insight and free-food scoring skills.
I can't believe it's already nearing the end of July...
Also, we saw a fox and the moon has been beautiful.
